Sometimes it really feels like you can't hit certain enemies without being hit yourself

[Krystal]

Like no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, Most enemies that shoot at you don't bother until your aligned with them anyways and no matter how you try to cleverly angle to shoot them by running up and down or left and right, your shots NEVER HIT THEM unless they also hit you. This is especially irritating vs enemies who move around alot.

Wanna hit that jumping sack of meat? either pray your moving shot hits(hint: It won't) or suck it up buttercup and take the damn hit to make sure they die. I personally don't like those options, do you?

Don't even start, I never said "you can't hit them without them hitting you" rather that it often feels like it since half the time my shots don't connect unless i'm hit at the same time.

The problem is you forgot to use your bombs are key pill on them.

Don't focus on hitting them. Focus mainly on dodging. It is possible to kill all monsters without getting hit, it comes with experience. The fact it's possible to beat the game as Lost and Tainted Lost proves it by itself.

I somehow imagine "The lost" runs being more about bombing every door you can to avoid fighting as much as possible then praying to god you don't get hit via bosses unless you got the holy mantle.

While playing as The Lost you need to sacrifice a goat to the gods every single run for you to win. Or else it's impossible and there's no other way around. It's not even possible to win against a Monstro without the sacrifice
For a Dead God achievement you need to sacrifice a human to the devil himself. It's more complicated and a little bit risky, but some players were brave enough to do that, including me

Fortunately, reality doesn't match your imagination.
Experience is more important than everything else in this game. I can't think of any room that must be bombed as the Lost to survive (or as anyone else actually).

Yeah I totally agree, this game is very bad. Poorly designed and unfair. Anyways, um... I bought a whole bunch of shungite rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is? No, not Suge Knight, I think he's locked up in prison. I'm talkin' shungite. Anyways, it's a two billion year-old like, rock stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. That's my story, I bought a whole bunch of stuff. Put 'em around the la casa. Little pyramids, stuff like that.

You can definitely get into situations or builds, where damage is unavoidable, but they should not be quite this common.
Have you unlocked "Lost starts with Holy Mantle" yet? if not, you should. Also, the trick with these meat-guys is, to shoot at them from an angle. Your tears are affected by your momentum., so for example, if you walk up and shoot to the left, you can angle your shots slightly.
Most of this game is just memorizing enemy movement and attack-patterns. It just takes some time. Also try normal-mode, if you are on hard-mode and just updated to Repentance, until you get more comfortable. Repentance made HM actually more hard with increased enemy movement and shot-speed and even less Soul Heart drops. This can lead to some bs moments with Blue Spike Rocks or some older room-layouts (especially closets).

That pre-AB+ Blastocyst-Room, before they finally removed it. ;D

i find the only annoying to hit enemy is the flys that circle you. it can get every annoying if your playing characters like the lost (even more so t lost).

there still beatable tho. its also normal for this type of game, being a rouge like

[RattyRattington]

It's always a bit strange and amusing when there's players on a forum for a game that just make a bunch of rage posts over time as they play the game.

That's pretty heavy handed. It's an annoying habit the guy has, but it's not like it's choking out legitimate discussion or anything since it's generally about one rant a day.
